Pickles by Brian Crane for October 11, 2019

Go ride a tractor, Earl, if you don’t want the bull — who bucked you off — to send you to the chiropractor.

Baxter Black he ain’t.

If Earl was to get bucked off an angry bull, he’d probably break a hip or something just as worse !

Yes.

Earl will have to be content with being an ol’ wooly bully.

Hope you a a wonderful life insurance policy for your family.

Bull Writing? No, your not too old for bull writing and….you’re doing great .

As it is Earl, you’re an expert bull thrower. :-)

I’m better at bull shooting, myself.

Well at least Earl dressed the part ;-)

Ambitious thoughts like this may surely get you by, but follow through with this one and kiss your balls goodbye.

Git off the kitchen stove, grandpa. Yer too old to be ridin’ the range.

You have enough danger in your life living with Opal…stay away from the bull!

Sure, that’s why First Responders are always at sporting events.

Earl, you have dreams of grandure….and look silly in that hat…

8 seconds of fame, a lifetime of pain.

Earl, you are too old to take up pretty much anything. Just concentrate on continuing to breathe.

The answer, Earl, is YUP!!!!!!!!! And Boy, HOWDY!!!!!!!

Never too old to dream….

Baxter Black has nothing to worry about.

It’s getting cold out here on the range

I’d be elsewhere if I had the cash

I’m fixing fences and feeding the herd

And straining coffee through my mustache.

Never too old to try anything…once.

Had a friend who had been a bull rider in his youth. At about age 45, after a few beers, he vowed to ride again. And next rodeo, he did. Briefly. He could sort of walk okay after about six months.

Earl has a BS,In B.S. ;)

Earl spouts a lot of bull, but none of it is ridable ;)

Somewhere deep in the old man’s eyes a mem’ry took a’hold

It fought the ageless undertow that drains and mocks the old.

I wiped a dribble off his chin, “Pop, tell me what you see?”

“It’s all the boys I rode with, I think they’ve come for me.”

from Good Bye, Old Man _____ by Baxter Black

Depends on the age of the bull… find one as old as you… and you would be fine

You’re never too old to take it up

This you need to know.

But don’t forget if the bull objects

To holler, “LOOK OUT BELOW!”

“Give me a ranch, a big pair of pants, and make me a Buckaroo and let me Yahoo, Yahoo, Yahoo!”

Well, that depends. How much longer did you plan on living?

But not too old for bull!
